Catching up on Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc...

Holy cow! It has been a while now, hasn't it? I got some round about feedback that too much time had elapsed since my last post, so here we go. I have pictures of our Washington Thanksgiving trip, Gigi's birthday, Christmas, Claire's basketball, and a few others that I can't remember off the top of my head. Without further adieu, here goes...



This picture of April was actually from Christmas. Our Christmas bowling extravaganza!



Audrey made a lovely graham cracker house Christmas.



This was Christmas Eve. We all (except Andrea) got new PJ's.



We thought it would be cool to have an "Old fashioned" gloomy looking picture for Christmas breakfast. You can't tell by the looks on our faces, but the cinnamon rolls and omelets were actually pretty good!



For the sake of continuity, here's Christmas dinner. Man, we look miserable!



Here are Andrea and Phia celebrating Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa's house.



Did I mention earlier that Claire is playing basketball now?



It's true, she is...



Didn't believe me, did you?



Here's Jolie, patiently posing while I experiment with some strobe stuff.



Back to Thanksgiving in Washington again. There is very little rhyme or reason to the order of these photos. Courtney made up a lovely table, didn't she?



For every lovely table and delicious meal, there are a million crestfallen Bretts, laboring endlessly that others might eat and enjoy.



Courtney threw down a terrific free-range bird.



Phia enjoyed our trip to Liberty Bay.



So did Gigi.



Almost as much as the new Snuggie she got for her birthday!



You get some pretty cool looking effects when you zoom in on Christmas lights during a long exposure.



See what I mean?

Well that does it for a little catch-up of the last few months. I didn't make a resolution to post more often to the blog here, so there is a reasonable chance that I might actually do it. We'll see.
